Whether you know Michael Tinsley personally, or communicate with him via phone or email, you instantly feel he treats you as a friend. I have used Michaels services three times in the past ten years, and after a couple of casual questions I felt he knew everything about what place I really wantedaEUR"even when I was not so sure myself. The first time I came to the area after accepting a tenure-track offer from Harvard I came with a teenage daughter. Naturally, our rental choices were based on living close to a good high school. Brookline, was Michaels verdict, and try this address in the vicinity of BHS. I did, blindly, and never regretted we rented the apartment on Beacon St he recommended. In 2019, when following my sabbatical leave me and my family came back, this time with a cat and an appetite for more nature and less urban landscape around, Michaels instant suggestion was to try Hancock Village, where we lived comfortably through covid and post-covid years. When last year I got my tenure and enough funding to think about buying a house, my first impulse was to email Michael again. Renting is easy, but I had zero knowledge about the intricacies of mortgages, house hunting, inspections, escrow and hundreds of other things. Michael knew everything, including what exactly I was likely not to know. And thanks to him, my family now owes a dream houseaEUR"again, in no time, without going through the ordeal of hesitancies and uncertainties. Contact Michael with all your housing needs and problems, you do not need anyone else and will hardly find a better friend and agent.

We recently had the pleasure of working with Mike while searching for our first home in the Boston suburbs. We cannot recommend him highly enough. Navigating the competitive real estate market is extremely daunting, but Mike made the process smooth and ultimately successful. From our very first meeting, it was clear that he had extensive knowledge of the areas we were looking in. One of the standout qualities of Mike was his exceptional communication skills. He was prompt in responding to emails and texts, and we never felt out of the loop during our home search. He took the time to listen to our needs and preferences and we appreciated his willingness to answer questions and offer candid advice. What truly sets Mike apart is his personal touch; he made an effort to connect with us on a personal level and he genuinely cared about helping us find not just a house, but a home that suited our lifestyle and expectations.

Mike was very helpful in our search for a home in Massachusetts, from dealing with my husband and I working with him from different states (while our old home sold), to having to attend viewings outside of Boston based on our search parameters and availability, among many other things. Mike was responsive to our inquiries and questions, and had some good insight on the best way to make a strong offer in a tough sellers market.
